Always, Forever, Eternally

I haven't got any updated material from university to add here so I thought I'd just throw an old piece of poetry your way. I cannot remember when or why I wrote this one, but I still like it, even after 2 years. 

Ever and always we find ourselves wanting

What can’t and never will be;

Forever wishing with our religion

What can’t, will be, just for us.

In loneliness we pray death resurrect,

Can’t and refuse to be alone;

In fear we beseech war make peace,

That what destroys can rebuild again.

Ever and always we hide in dark places

Away from what is and now will be;

The scars forever burn in memory

Of what will now always be.
